Not having Worley is killing us. I knew it would.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Holgorsen is coaching a good game so far tonight and Gibson has the defense playing very well. Keep it up Mountaineers.

You watching the same game? When you get it in the redzone 3 times on your first 3 drives, and come away with 9 points....I wouldn't call that "good".


And I like Gibson, but our CB replacing Worley is getting abused. They may need to call the cops....

I'd say Dana is coaching a good game too.

I said he was coaching a good game. I didn't say great. With that said, the game plan seems solid. It is the execution inside the red zone that is killing us. As usual, our QB can throw the deep ball but lacks in many other areas, which really hurts us inside the 20, and on third downs. Yes, our CB replacement for Worley is struggling, likely the reason he was not starting to begin with. Holgorsens main problem continues to be his inability to develop a true QB for his system.

Durante being gone is looking like a blessing in disguise. White looks better...

 

[Round Hillbilly]

way to go get it thompson...great play

 

[MountaineerWV]

HOLY HELL! We scored a redzone TD!!!!!!

 

[MountaineerWV]

SPECIAL TEAMS BABY!!!! Grab another cold one, Joe!

 

[Round Hillbilly]

can't.believe.that.shit.just.happened

 

[spreadoption]

Nice throw, TD, then the clown show strikes again.

 

[skygusty]

Jesus H. Christ!

 

[MountaineerWV]

Are you F**KING serious, Joe? Giving them midfield with 30 seconds left? REALLY? Wow. You are earning your check tonight buddy

 

[spreadoption]

What the hell was that kickoff? eforest strikes twice in two seconds.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Going to give up points.....THANKS JOE! Best special teams coach money can buy!

 

[dolemitebmf]

If nothing else, eFore should be gone after this game...

 

[Round Hillbilly]

cmon d...hope harper is ok

 

[JCT1]

Otoole is killing us

 

[TruWVblu]

This game is way too close, considering how we have outplayed them. These type games normally have a way of turning quickly.

 

[locustwv]

TIME MANAGEMENT IS JUST FANTASTIC ISNT IT????

 

[Round Hillbilly]

so special teams turned that td into a net gain of 1 point...i'd hate to be in the locker room at half time

 

[GoWVU]

DAMN, Holgorsen is screwing us again! He flat out GAVE them that FG attempt. I hate his freaking guts! We are pissed here in the stadium

 

[skygusty]

Well I've seen enough of the refs and of special teams. The only lucky break we got in the first half was that deflected pass. Skyler is going to have to deliver some passes and loosen up the running game.

 

[CAJUNEER]

Cut out the bonehead plays and we should take care of ASU.

 

[CE4WVU]

This game is way too close, considering how we have outplayed them. These type games normally have a way of turning quickly.

Hopefully in our favor... Graham seems to think he's got us right where he wants us with adjustments.

Cmon man, you have to at least be fair. I am in no way a fan of how Holgorsen has performed as our HC to date, but it was not his fault the extra point was blocked or that the kickoff did not go where he wanted it to go. He did not plan to kick the ball where it went. What is his fault is not seeing that Smallwood should be the RB, period.

 

[GoWVU]

You're wrong, Tru. The short kickoff absolutely 100% is his fault. I was talking about that, not the PAT. That is an execution mistake. The kickoff is not. He is a clown, pure and simple

 

[CAJUNEER]

If I'm ASU I'm continuing 8 in the box and blitzing nearly every play. I'd make Howard hit that short to medium pass.

 

[spreadoption]

How do you not recover that?

 

[MountaineerWV]

We cannot defend that one side of the field. Rumph getting smoked....

 

[MountaineerWV]

Rumph again.....TD ASU.....

 

[spreadoption]

We should have been off the field after that first 3rd down but Henry missed the tackle on that short pass to the RB in the flat and it gave ASU a first down.

 

[spreadoption]

Don't worry, the Offensive Genius will pull this one out.

 

[MountaineerWV]

So we go from a 2nd and 2 to a 3rd and 5 on a busted pass play that instead of throwing it out of bounds we force it to a screen for a loss......smart........

 

[MountaineerWV]

Our OL is literally giving Howard 1.5 seconds to throw the ball. Gee whiz.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Good protection there......nice throw, catch, finish in to the endzone by Jennings.

 

[skygusty]

Nice finish by Gary Jennings. Great throw too.

 

[Round Hillbilly]

good job by howard to hang in the pocket on that one...he's done a good job of moving around in the pocket too. can't even think right with all of this screaming going on

 

[MountaineerWV]

Wasted series right there. Horrible 3 plays.

 

[Round Hillbilly]

more of that please! crushed that dude coming over the middle

 

[spreadoption]

Suddenly, we remember that we're a Big 12 defense.
